This course introduces students to a range of topics and issues in learning and teaching that impact on the teaching roles of academic staff in universities. In this course, students will have an opportunity to engage with current thinking in learning and teaching, consider various approaches, start investigating one area of their teaching in a scholarly and reflective way, and plan changes to their teaching practice.

As a component of this course, students will participate in the Foundations of University Learning and Teaching (FULT) workshop, which is offered at UNSW as a staff development activity. During the FULT workshop perspectives on student learning and an overview of good practice in curriculum design and facilitation of student learning in different contexts (large classes, small groups, online environment, etc) will be explored.
